  • Plenty of demand enabled Equate Petrochemical to aggressively revise pricing to print a restrained $500m sukuk on Monday from a book that reached $4.2bn before it was reconciled. Kipco followed on Thursday with an equally strong deal.
  • GlobalCapital revealed the winners of its Syndicated Loan, Leveraged Finance and Private Placement Awards 2016 at its 14th Annual Loans Dinner on Wednesday. A dozen borrowers — corporate, bank and sovereign — from all over the EMEA region attended the dinner of 250 people at the Guildhall in London. The awards were as ever based on a poll of loan market participants, conducted at the end of 2016. As such, they are the only awards that recognise achievement in the EMEA loan market based on the opinion of the market. This year we added two high profile new awards: the Lifetime Achievement Award and Most Impressive Growing Force in the Loan Market. Participants at the dinner supported the Loan Syndicate Managers’ Forum’s chosen charity, Make Sense of It, which supports research into, and sufferers from, multiple sclerosis. GlobalCapital congratulates all the winners and nominees.
  • Equate Petrochemicals was on track to print its debut sukuk on Monday. Bankers on the deal said it was likely to print inside where a new conventional bond would come.
  • Dubai Islamic Bank printed the largest ever senior financial sukuk on Tuesday, an accomplishment that bodes well for the busy pipeline of Middle Eastern bonds.
